Convicted murderer says decision on NI extradition should be stayed
Stage: Sentence
Outcome: James Meehan (54) has also argued that the punitive part of his sentence has been served and that he had actually been released from prison "on licence" when he came to live here late last year. Meehan, with addresses in Derry City and Headfort Grove, Kells, Co Meath, was sentenced in 2009 to life imprisonment – with a minimum of 14 years to be served – for the murder of Derry man Jim McFadden in May 2007.; Ms Justice Greally adjourned the matter, for judgement, to Friday, December 8.
